Often I thought I could see the difference between doctrine and culture. While I may be fairly good at parsing that in 2012 USA, *I* really need a much wider and longer view, at sort out the gospel of Christ and how the gospel is practiced in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 2012.

I don’t need that because I believe the LDS church to be untrue, but because I am not physically able to participate in church attendance. So, I am looking at how I keep my testimony bright and my life on the path with the rod of iron to hold, while I go for a time without the structure of a three-hour block meeting, a calling, and LDS social activities.

I am working on a post about how Keepa has given me the basis to think and reflect on how to apply the gospel in my life, during a time when church attendance is not physically an option. Much of the personal revelation I have had over the last few months has been influenced by Keepa in some ways. I think a may be close to being a true Keepaninny. ;-)
